These animals, due to lack of appendages, use their bodies to generate propulsive force. These movements are sometimes referred to as "slithering" or "crawling", although neither are formally used in the scientific literature and the latter term is also used for some animals moving on all four limbs.
"Slither" is a perfectly reasonable description of that sort of motion. There is (allegedly) a Sanskrit proverb "A slithering lizard does not become a snake on account of slithering", and salamanders would probably be described as "lizards" by a non-biologist. Tevildo 19:58, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
